I have been thinking a lot lately about the general decline of main line protestantism and especially the Episcopal Church which I happen to love very much. Francie spoke about this last Sunday. Christianity has a big image problem in this "Post Christian" age. It is not normal or necessary any more for people to belong to and attend a church. And many see our faith and our God as mean, judgmental and just downright unnecessary and irrelevant. How can we change our image? How can we show the face of Christ, the real Christ to the world? In the summer of 2009 at General Convention in Anaheim I was very moved by a sermon given by Ray Suarez at our daily Eucharist that really gets to the heart of who we are and where we need to go as a church. I invite you to read it here . Please read digest and comment if you like.
